Description
ONE ONLY! Beatles investment with terrific upside potential:
THE BEATLES: AIN'T SHE SWEET/NOBODY'S CHILD (Atco #6308 1st pressing, 1964): CLEAN VG/VG+ 45 w/company sleeve.
Atco #6308 preserves the 1st studio-recorded Beatles performance & the 1st professionally-recorded John Lennon vocal. The 45 is CLEAN VG/VG+ & plays VG+ WITHOUT DRILL HOLE.
At the end of the 1961 Tony Sheridan sessions in Hamburg there was a little time left over. Tony's backup band The Beatles were told they could tape a couple of numbers. They recorded John singing lead vocal on Ain't She Sweet plus instrumental Cry For A Shadow. Both recordings were promptly forgotten.
Until 3 years later & Beatlemania, that is. In 1964 Atco Records secured the rights to Ain't She Sweet, dusted it off, & issued it that Fall. Even though the song was ancient (written in 1927), the magic of The Beatles' name rewarded Atco's crass commercialism with a Top 20 hit.
Don't be fooled by cheap fakes; look for "AT" in the trailout wax of Atco singles.
